Decided late Sunday to dump home life for a day to do turn & burn day to the Gorge (Strawberry was in heavy thought too), this is my first trip back to the gorge since 2021 which I usually get 3-4...

I have 2 convector 15’s which I use the dual handle. Also use the reel clamps by choice, had the reel seat nut to back off before where reel fell off into my hand. It can seem as an overkill but I...

I purchased the seals from Amazon for the hydraulic steering pump at the helm which continued to leak. Then went to a carrier of the actual manufacture of the seals and cured that issue. When my...

I do generally help out those who are first time visitors to a particular lake or a newcomer learning kokanee fishing.

Saw this on the news yesterday, I wonder how many previous tournaments they were getting away with this. Languange is graphic in video.

Thanks for posting this Bob, stupid is unfixable seems like. I have visited Porcupine before during the spawn but only briefly. Its a spectacular site and should not be disturbed. The first time I...

I missed out on trips to the Gorge for a couple of unfortunate reasons this year. Now with the decline of kokanee impacted by the drought, I'm not sure when I'll get back up to the Gorge.

Hi Chuck, congrats on your retirement. Life still gets thrown unavoidable curves as if your still working, but as always learning to deal with them is part of the plan. This has been a very dismal...

After a month long of not being able to go fishing anywhere I decided it was more than time to get out for the day. Arrived at Strawberry 0630 and lines in at 0715. It was a nice day with water...

We fished the main body within the triangle.

Made the trip with AFDan, on the water at 0630. Kokanee famine has hit, not even one drive by. I did see 2 very small schools on the sonar dragging what I could thru them with no love. If it wasn't...

Nice Aaron, sounds like the Berry has been coming alive lately. In some instances, if it wasn't for the cutts there could be a skunk to deal with. I am contemplating a breakout trip, but this heat...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aaron. Appears you did have a fun trip. Any size to the Kokes? This summer looks to be off my list for the Gorge, this will be the first year in a long time I will miss fishing the...

Thanks for the report Taildancer. Unfortunately to get out just for the day will cost a fortune in gas alone. I can still do my trips but not as many. Wind hasn't been too favorable either when comes...

Finally got a trip to the Font. Met up with some friends who came from Green River and other friends that were there since the afternoon before. We all had good success, but it was hard to find them...

South of the pipeline and just north of state line, if you know where swim beach its straight across to the east side.

Nice going Aaron, sounds like Rawlins is getting warm with kokes. Were there other boats in the area? I'm chomping at the bit to get out somewhere. Appears the big "W" will be kicking up all over for...

Thanks for the report kokanee64, glad to see you got into them. I receive mostly verbal reports that is not posted. Since last year reports have been a difficult challenge at the Gorge as well as...

Thanks, Ben, for the tutorial. I have a pair of older manual Scotty's I bought back in the mid 80's. I have gotten my use out of them over a 20yr span. Finally went to 4 electrics and a bigger boat....

I did a solo trip 5-23 to Strawberry. Launched from the Bay and fished main body. When first arriving, I noticed how breezy & cold it was. Once on the water the chop wasn't without swells but no...

It has gotten to the point when I get back from a trip whether its a short trip or one that's a little longer, I will gas my truck at 1/4 or 1/2 tank to keep current with prices. A jump in fuel...

Got in my first trip to the Berry on Friday the 13th, and that it was. Got on the water at 0630 with lines in 10min later. A very cool morning & flat with water temp at 41°. First fish was a...

Hi Tim, wife is doing good and I'm officially off of house arrest as of today after spending 2mo administering eye meds. She picked the wrong time to have her cataracts removed. I missed out on...

I have been in what seems like house arrest for the past 2mo with taking care of wife after she went thru cataract surgery on both eyes a month apart. When I saw the first post of some fishing at the...

Tim, I agree with you and often wonder if they would. When burbot first became part of the fishing regulations there was a set limit with a must kill order on all caught. It didn't take long to...
